Okay, maybe I'll spend the afternoon doing this. Not having looked at
the code much, would it be impossible to support "greater than a
memory page" sized blocks with the current code structure? It would
be wonderful if I could get a 64KB block size working. I could easily
use a single block per stripe with that.
